Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill SB 6009, a section stating that the bill would expire on June 30, 2026, has been removed. Additionally, it now specifies that if a party withholds consent for a transfer, this decision cannot be used as evidence in court or against the party in any related proceedings. These changes matter because they may provide more legal protection for parties involved in transfers, ensuring that their rights aren't unfairly undermined during legal disputes.
